Sorry, it has been quite a while without any updates. There really wasn't anything to report, but now things are finally coming together. This will be the first of several updates between now and June.
TL;DR for this post: The Political Hive tribe will be launching in June 2024. We'll have an OUTPOST front end for the domain politicalhive.org. There will also be a community and token "brand refreshing" for the tribe.

Tribe Launch Date
After several years (first beginning on Steemit before the 2020 blockchain fork), the Political Hive tribe will finally be launching, and we are committing to a June 2024 launch. Ideally, it will be June 15th (the date the Magna Carta was signed), but we are committing to a launch in June 2024.
Tribe Front End
Political Hive will be paying 5000 BEE to get an OUTPOST front end. This will make the tribe's website layout similar to other Hive tribes like Hive Images (hive.photo) and MemeHive (hiveme.me).
The Political Hive tribe will be using the domain politicalhive.org. All posts using the tribe's tags will appear on this site for easier curation.
Political Hive Community and Token "Brand Refreshing"
Because Political Hive originally began as 
First, the Hive community for Political Hive will be moving from community hive-179804 to community hive-120417.
The other change is the tribe token. The token is still currently set to PAY (rewarding posts with the political tags), but the tribe token will become VOTE with the launch of the Political Hive tribe.
Rather than an airdrop or exchange program, Political Hive will be using an "opt-in" method through a VOTE:PAY diesel liquidity pool. The pool will be set up shortly before the June launch of Political Hive.
The unstaking period for PAY token is 28 days, so if you want to unstake your PAY tokens to swap for VOTE, you should start unstaking at the beginning of May 2024.

Another way VOTE tokens will be available before the launch of the Political Hive tribe is through other diesel pools. Starting in April, a few select pools will have VOTE tokens deposited for liquidity rewards. This will provide regular VOTE token payouts for the liquidity providers of the pools. Keep in mind that any VOTE tokens you may receive in April or May won't have utility until the reward pool and staking/delegation for VOTE token are set up.
Probably within a few months of Political Hive's launch, the tags for PAY will be changed. PAY token will eventually be used for some other project(s) in the future.
Hopefully, I have remembered to include all the important details and was clear in this update. If there are any questions or comments, please feel free to reply to this post. Other updates to follow will include the reward pool settings for VOTE token and which liquidity pools will have VOTE token rewards starting in April.
